How are you employed?
In these days of (more) equal opportunity and (occasional) political correctness, shouldn’t that be “one person company”?

My garbage person & mail person agree with you. but it has to stop when it comes to a “Personhole Cover”[:P]
What would you see as difference between a ‘one PERSON company’ and a freelance consultant?
In my mind a “one PERSON company” is a company/person who mainly works on smaller projects at many clients. A small reseller - often they are dreaming about making it more than a one person company. A freelancer is more a person who goes on projects of a longer duration, i.e. 3-12 months. In this period he/she in general don’t work on other projects or for other customers. But you’re right sometimes it’s hard to differentiate.

Thanks for the thoughtfulness Dave, [8D] but you can’t please everybody all the time and what ADMIN meant is understood. (Now if they said: “one male company” that would be reason to be concerned. [:(]) Look, women have lived with the word “mankind” for forever and we understand it means women, too. Think about if we were to change that too: humankind - [V][No] that would offend those who think aliens (I’m sorry, extraterrestrials), elves, trolls, or whatever live among us or who think their pets are people too. personkind - [V][No] that would offend those who think they are an ET, elf, troll, or whatever. individualkind - [V][No] individual what? beingkind - [V][No] what kind of being? HUMAN beings? There we go again. [:I][Oops!] it can go on and on…[Sigh…] Have a great 2005! [:D][Yeah!]
And how do you differentiate between the choices “employed in a small/big reseller” and “owner/partner”? For example; i may be an owner in a small reseller or a partner of the bigger reseller…etc.
